It's getting to be a habit. In 1999 Reckitt Benckiser's global manufacturing centre for healthcare products at Hull - maker of Lemsip, Gaviscon and Fybogel among many others - was MT's best process plant. Last year, the group's Derby household products plant was runner-up. This year it's Hull's turn again.
